Visa Assistance

Prior to traveling to Japan for SMC2018 in Miyazaki, please review the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan website to clarify your visa requirements. If required, please be sure to apply for a visa that provides a sufficient time frame for your participation (a few months are needed in general).

If you need invitation letters for your visa application, please contact us (the contact information will be provided later) with the following information and items.

Filled VISA Questionnaire form(s) (will be provided later)

Invitation letters should only be issued to Speakers/Presenters and Committee members who have paid the required registration fee in full. When you plan to travel with your family and/or students who do not present any paper, you should apply for visas together.
